Materiels Entitlements Management Software

MEMS – Materiels Entitlements Management, is a modern, extensible, web driven system that is owned by the Commonwealth Government of Australia, for use by Australia’s Defence Forces (ADF). Ocean Software designed, developed, delivered, and sustain MEMS for complete handling of the ADF’s Materiels Management requirements.

The complexity of Materiels management by military organisations is also reflected in many private sector businesses who’s core business is in product development and delivery. MEMS was designed to handle mobile or inflight inventory and stock take requirements, just in time stock replenishment, through to the equipment returns processes.

Order of Battle Structure

Tracking the historical, current and future force structure of the Australian Defence Force Organisation.

Unit Specifications & Entitlements

Tracking unit sub-structure, key information and inventory allowance during peace and war periods

Personnel (Block Scale) Entitlement

Entitlements of individuals based on rank or specialisations during peace (MLOC) and war periods (OLOC).

Integration with MILIS

Seamless integration with the ADF’s Inventory Management ERP System (MILIS),

Comprehensive & Custom Reporting

MEMS Advantages

Scalable

Developed to save the Australian Defence Force, money straight from the outset, by replacing both the DES and Block System, while integrating with MILIS, it has more than lived up to its promise. The use of Web based architectures and system defined menu groupings with data driven menu items allows for easy expansion of functionality through future releases

Secure With Role Based Access

MEMS operates on the Australian Defence DRN (Defence Restricted Network), with both role, and security clearance based access to information and functionality. Security is further enhanced with the choice of either a single sign on or straight user ID / password access

Auditability

MEMS captures detailed records of not just logins, but also enables highly detailed reporting on what fields have been changed, as well as what occupied fields within previous iterations.

Ease of Use

Designed to be easy to use, with a guidance oriented GUI to maintain or uphold, and support business process and procedure requirements.

Fast Data Entry

By using standard lookups, drop downs, and text boxes for streamlined data entry while maintaining data integrity. MEMS also guides users through processes to ensure there is no duplication of materiel items when new ones are created.

Reporting

MEMS is supplied with many standard reports, as well as the ability for users to generate their own.
